Turtle Con

I got hundreds to thousands of photos through my life. A lot of which would match up to stories here on Cowabunga Corner, but for one reason or another they are not chosen. This does not mean that these photos are not worth sharing and do not hold stories of their own. I would like to keep sharing what I can here on the site, so whenever I can I will share a photo and a story to go along with the photo. If it’s a part of events that has been shared here, we will link back to the stories of the events themselves as well. Hope everyone enjoys. Today’s photo is from Turtle Con 2001.

Cowabunga Corner goes through a lot of hard drive space on computers because of the videos and photos used for the blog. Interviews, panels, reviews, and so much more are all saved for multiple uses, which puts us through a lot of different hard drives. Cowabunga Corner is always needing to upgrade and move the files around to keep them all in order. We do reuse old files when needed, so deleting is not an option on the video. Now, it has come time for another upgrade and we’re asking for help.

When we did Turtle Con 2000, the original plan was to make money to keep doing the booth each year. Though we did not make money. In 2001 we held the booth again, but less people came and it still cost as much to hold. So in 2002 we skipped out on doing a booth at the convention. When 2003 rolled around we discussed the idea of doing a convention booth for the return of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So we pulled the money together and did a weekend of friends that took a lot of work and was a lot of fun.

In this episode, I talk about an event fans know as “Turtle Con 2000″.

Back in May 2000 there was nothing new coming out of Ninja Turtles besides for a few T-Shirts here or there. Though comics were just going into their quiet time as Image was wrapping up the series, no TV show (not even reruns)… it was not a time the fans liked.
